I can do to assist in getting native bluetooth interface with
Shearwater dive computers. I could contact Shearwater if that would
help. I ask because I still cannot get the direct download from my
Petrel to work with the latest version (and a fresh install of
Windows. If I try, it will lock up the program and I have to kill it
with Task Manager so my work around is using Shearwater Desktop and
then export from Shearwater Desktop and import into Subsurface.
This is actually much more about libdivecomputer than about Subsurface.
I'm sure Jef can tell us where he needs the help...
Status is pretty much the same as before, because I didn't had time to work on
it.
For Linux and Windows I have working prototype code implemented (communication
only, the device discovery is still missing). For Mac OS X, I haven't even
started coding. And that's where the main obstacle is right now. I'm not
familiar with Mac OS X api's, and certainly not with how to use them from C
(instead of obj-c). So if anyone can help with that, that would be great.
If anyone has experience with bluetooth (on any platform), that's welcome too.
I'm far from a bluetooth expert. I just learned by reading docs, manpages,
sample code, etc.
